  I'm rooting for OnLive (even though I personally have only tried a demo just to see what it was like and was not overly impressed), but I believe their service can still make substantial improvements to reduce lag and increase video quality. That said, the infastructure upgrade around the U.S. will do wonders to help by itself.
  
  I don't think OnLive will survive on their own long term; I hope it's Valve/Steam that buys them out. Valve could port steam to Android and iOS, and it would be an instant way for millions of gamers to have access to their 100+ games from virtually any mobile device.
